Georgia is a strategic HDPE generation state

Georgia produces some of the highest HDPE scrap volumes in the Southeast. The Port of Savannah — the fourth-busiest container port in the U.S. — gives BlackBridge direct export access for HDPE bales heading to Asian and Latin American mills. The Atlanta metro DC corridor (Hartsfield logistics, I-75/I-85 intersection, NorfolkSouthern + CSX rail) generates steady streams of post-industrial HDPE from automotive injection molding (Hyundai’s Ellabell EV plant, Kia West Point), beverage bottling, dairy/HBA plants, and the heavy concentration of 3PLs running food-grade totes and drums.

If you are a Georgia manufacturer, distribution center, processor, or municipal MRF generating 5,000 lbs/month or more of HDPE, BlackBridge will move it.

HDPE grades we buy in Georgia

• Natural HDPE regrind (milk jug, food-grade) — premium grade
• Color HDPE regrind (mixed bottle, detergent, HBA)
• HDPE drums (closed-head 55-gallon, open-top, plastic-only)
• HDPE totes / IBCs (275 / 330 gal — composite removed or whole)
• HDPE injection / extrusion purge and runners
• Post-consumer baled HDPE (#2 PCR from Georgia MRFs)

Typical accepted volumes: gaylord (≈1,000 lbs) up to full 40,000-lb truckload. Bales should be mill-size (≥800 lbs), strapped, on pallets or floor-loaded.

Why Georgia suppliers choose BlackBridge

• Savannah port leverage — direct booking with NVOCC partners for export bales
• Same-week pickup statewide via our Southeast carrier network
• Net-15 to Net-30 terms for vetted accounts (some Net-7 / pay-on-pickup)
• Material flexibility — we take the off-grade and color along with the natural
• 15+ years brokering HDPE — we know which mills want which grades this week

Georgia HDPE pricing context

HDPE pricing in Georgia tracks national #2 indices but typically runs at a small premium to Northeast pricing because of port-export demand. Natural HDPE regrind has historically traded in the $0.35–$0.60/lb range depending on grade, color in the $0.10–$0.30/lb range, and baled #2 post-consumer in the $0.08–$0.22/lb range. Drum and tote pricing is quoted per piece. Pricing moves weekly with virgin resin and export demand — call 800-449-5084 for a current bid.

FAQ — Selling HDPE in Georgia

Q: Do you pick up HDPE anywhere in Georgia?
A: Yes. We dispatch trucks to Atlanta, Savannah, Macon, Augusta, Columbus, Athens, and rural sites statewide. Minimum economical pickup is roughly 5,000 lbs (a partial trailer) — anything less, we can consolidate with a nearby pickup or arrange LTL.

Q: How fast do you pay?
A: Standard terms are Net-15 from receipt and weight ticket. Established Georgia accounts can negotiate Net-7 or pay-on-pickup for consistent loads. New suppliers typically start on a per-load basis and graduate to terms after the first two clean loads.

Q: Can you handle HDPE drums with residual product?
A: We buy HDPE drums that are RCRA-empty (≤1 inch heel of non-hazardous residue). Drums with hazardous content require profile review. Triple-rinsed food-grade and HBA drums are routinely cleared for recycling.

Q: Do I need to bale my HDPE?
A: Baled is preferred (better truck cube and faster mill acceptance), but we also buy gaylord-loose, super-sack, and floor-loaded HDPE. We will quote both ways so you can decide whether bailing investment makes sense.
